Chapter 694: Emotions - Sublimation
In this sudden storm, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen hugged each other tightly, as if they were the only ones in the world. The suspicions and quarrels in the past seemed so insignificant at this moment. The storm brought by her husband's revenge became a raging fire that tempered their feelings.
Jiang Ciyou leaned in Lu Jingchen's arms, her tears soaking his clothes, all the grievances, confusion and fears were vented along with her tears. She recalled the despair when her husband abandoned her on the wedding night. At that time, she felt that the world was dark and there was no hope in life. The appearance of Lu Jingchen was like a beam of light, illuminating her dark world. At first, she just wanted to use him to avenge her ex-husband and fill the emptiness in her heart, but unknowingly, he had already taken root in her heart.
Lu Jingchen stroked Jiang Ciyou's hair, his heart full of pity. He never thought that she would suffer so much because of him. He remembered that when he first met her, although there was pain in her eyes, she still stubbornly flashed with light, and that unyielding spirit deeply attracted him. From then on, he vowed to protect this light and make her smile again. In the days he spent with her, he saw her strength and fragility, her courage in business, and her delicacy in life, all of which fascinated him.
"Ciyou, I'm sorry, I have implicated you." Lu Jingchen's voice was choked with sobs.
Jiang Ciyou raised his head, his eyes full of affection: "No, Jingchen, this is not your fault. It is my own choice. I have never regretted meeting you, knowing you, and loving you. This predicament has made me see a lot clearly, and also made me see my heart clearly."
The two of them just hugged each other quietly, and memories came flooding back like a tide. They recalled the time they spent on vacation together at the beach, the sun shining on the beach, they walked hand in hand, the sea breeze blew, and their laughter echoed. At that time, they had no worries, no interference from the outside world, and they enjoyed the sweetness of love. There was also that time in a high-end restaurant, when Lu Jingchen carefully prepared Jiang Ciyou's favorite food, and the candlelight swayed, reflecting the love in each other's eyes. They shared the bits and pieces of life and looked forward to a better future, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with them.
During this period of time, they jointly dealt with the crisis, and they saw a side of each other that they had never shown before. Jiang Ciyou saw Lu Jingchen running around and humbly asking friends for help to help her solve the company's financial problems, putting aside all his pride and self-esteem. He worked day and night to study business plans, just to find a way to revive her company. At that moment, she knew that this man really loved her and was willing to give everything for her.
Lu Jingchen also saw Jiang Ciyou's tenacity. Facing her husband's malicious attacks and the many difficulties in her business, she did not flinch at all. She stayed in the company all day, fighting side by side with the employees and boosting morale. Even under the pressure of public opinion, she still stood up straight and tried to find a solution to the problem. Her strength made him admire her and made him more certain that she was the one he wanted to protect in this life.
"Ciyou, no matter what we encounter in the future, we will face it together, okay?" Lu Jingchen said softly.
Jiang Ciyou nodded vigorously: "Well, let's do it together. I will never let others easily destroy our relationship again."
They began to have a deep conversation, sharing each other's deepest fears and expectations. Jiang Ciyou admitted that she was afraid of being hurt again and that her choice would cause trouble for the people around her. Lu Jingchen said that he was worried that he was not strong enough to give Jiang Ciyou enough sense of security and protect her from the wind and rain.
"You know, Jingchen, when I saw those rumors flying around, I was really scared. I was afraid that you would believe them and leave me because of them." Jiang Ciyou's voice trembled a little.
Lu Jingchen held her hand tightly: "Silly girl, how could I believe that? I only believe in you in my eyes, the kind, strong, and hardworking you. Those rumors are just malicious slander from your ex-husband. Let's smash them together."
Jiang Ciyou was deeply moved, she knew that she had found someone to rely on for the rest of her life. Their love was no longer the passion and romance it had initially been, but after going through trials and tribulations, it had become deeper and more profound with the incorporation of trust, understanding and tolerance.
In the days that followed, they got along better and better. In the morning, Lu Jingchen would get up early and prepare a nutritious breakfast for Jiang Ciyou, watching her eat with satisfaction, his eyes full of pampering. Before going out, Jiang Ciyou would fix Lu Jingchen's tie, give him a kiss, and remind him to be safe. At work, although they were busy in their respective fields, they always cared about each other. When encountering problems, they would share them with each other as soon as possible and discuss solutions together.
In their spare time, they no longer just pursue pleasure as before, but are more willing to spend time understanding each other's inner world. They read the same book together, and then exchange their thoughts, deepening their understanding of each other in the collision of ideas. They also go for a walk in the suburbs together, enjoy the tranquility of nature, listen to the birds singing, and feel the warmth of each other's company.
At a gathering of friends, everyone clearly felt the changes between them. In the past, Jiang Ciyou was always a little defensive, and Lu Jingchen was a little cynical, but now, their eyes are full of love and determination for each other. Friends joked that they had gone through hardships and achieved success. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen smiled at each other, their hearts full of sweetness.
They also began to pay attention to each other's interests and hobbies, and tried to integrate into each other's world. Lu Jingchen didn't have much in-depth knowledge of business, but in order to better help Jiang Ciyou, he studied hard and delved into various business cases. Now he can also put forward unique insights in business discussions. Jiang Ciyou followed Lu Jingchen to learn photography. She found that the process of capturing beautiful moments through the lens, like their protection of love, requires heart and concentration.
Even when facing some minor frictions, they no longer quarreled and had cold wars like before. Once, Jiang Ciyou was a little depressed due to work pressure, and spoke to Lu Jingchen in a harsh tone. Afterwards, she realized that she was wrong and took the initiative to apologize to Lu Jingchen. Lu Jingchen did not complain at all, but gently embraced her in his arms and said: "I know you are tired. If you have any troubles in the future, tell me, don't carry it alone." At that moment, Jiang Ciyou's eyes were wet. She knew very well how precious such understanding and tolerance were.
As time goes by, their relationship becomes more and more indestructible. They know that the road ahead is still long and there may be storms, but they are not afraid. Because they have each other, and this love that has been tested and sublimated. They are like two trees standing side by side, no matter how the wind blows, they will tightly entwine their roots and resist everything together.
On a quiet night, the moonlight sprinkled in front of the window like water, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen sat on the balcony hand in hand, looking at the starry sky. They didn't need to say anything, their hearts had already communicated with each other. At this moment, their hearts were full of confidence in the future, and they firmly believed that they would be able to go through every stage of life hand in hand and write their own legendary love story. Their love, like this bright starry sky, is eternal and shining, illuminating each other's way forward and warming their world.
